There was plenty to like about MONBEG THEATRE's debut third under Rules at Ludlow. This slightly stiffer test should suit and he can make the most of the 7lb he receives from recent Market Rasen scorer Bandit Country. Winning pointers Call Me Vic and Call Me Emma have been off the track for a while but Trapper Peak had Driving Well behind when second at Towcester and should improve. Rascal is by Milan and looks the pick of the newcomers as Vinnie Red may need a longer trip in time.
